Corning Cable Systems ALTOS® Lite™ Gel-Free,
Single-Jacket, Single-Armored Cables are designed for campus backbones
in direct-buried installations. The loose tube design provides stable
and highly reliable transmission parameters for a variety of voice,
data, video and imaging applications. These cables also provide
high-fiber density within a given cable diameter while allowing
flexibility to suit many system configurations.
The single
armored construction provides additional crush and rodent protection
with a high-strength ripcord under the armor for easy stripping.
Gel-free means the cables are fully waterblocked using craft-friendly,
water-swellable materials which make cable access simple and require no
clean up. The flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes are easy to route in
closures, and the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from
installation and environmental rigors while allowing easy midspan
access. These cables have a medium density polyethylene jacket that is
rugged, durable and easy to strip.
